    I own both FS17 and FS19 and I prefer to play FS19 despite the massive amount of mods available for FS17 that seem to be absent from FS19. (Dude... where are my seed/fertilizer hoppers?)

(Dude... where are my seed/fertilizer hoppers?) They integrated a lot of new stuff that I really enjoy, mostly speaking about the Farming Management game mode. This is really good for multiplayer when you have friends that are garbage at driving or plowing. They won't mess up your farm this way. It also enables a sense of competitive farming. The graphics only go to 1440p on PS4 Pro and that saddens me. I have a 4K screen and I feel like that is kind of the norm by now. It does still look really good but I feel like it could have been just a tad better. I didn't experience any major glitches or bugs, and the VoIP in-game chat is crystal clear. I don't even need to use the PSN voice party.

    I would definitely like to see some of the popular FS17 mods created for FS19. Again, most notably the placeable seed and fertilizer hoppers.    … Expand

    Got this as a psplus free game and I think that I underestimated the game, pretty fun, solid hours of grind, not bad at all, still have room for a lot of improvements like the graphics engine, physics engine which are really lame, but it’s a lot of fun cause you are busy the most of the time doing stuff.

    Like most simulator games, Farming Simulator 19's biggest achievement is just how bad it is. 25/100

    The game starts off interesting. The graphics are nice but the experience isn't as smooth as FS17. The game feels much more user friendly than FS17 but this game lacks an incentive to play beyond the grind.

The graphics are nice but the experience isn't as smooth as FS17. The game feels much more user friendly than FS17 but this game lacks an incentive to play beyond the grind.

    When you start a game you have 3 options for how to start your game. These options aren't based on difficulty because you can adjust changes to weeds, fertilising, economy in the options menu. What you're choosing is how much do you want to grind? The first option gives you a fair amount of money and equipment to get you started. Playing on the other options starts you off with nothing and some money but you're basically working your way towards having what you start off with when playing the first option. You're still going to need to buy tractors and harvesters, trailers, farmhouse, silos and land all on a budget. You can take out a loan which isn't very risky or work the Ai doing contracts which becomes lame.

    Where this game falls flat for me is realising that I don't have an incentive to grow anything other than soybeans because that seems to make the most money. I also don't have an incentive to have animals because they produce little reward for the work.

    You have a seeder that cultivates, seeds and fertilises all at once. It's a 3 in 1 machine so whats the point of buying anything else?

    My only incentive seems to be to buy a bigger harvester, a bigger 3 in 1 seeder, a stronger tractor and so on but not expand into the features that this game offers. Yeah I can grow cotton, corn and sunflowers but I need special equipment which costs a lot when I can just keep growing soybeans and make more money. I can have cows which I have to feed and water and I can use the manure to fertilise my crops but whats the point of going though all that effort when I can just buy fertiliser from the store and plant oil seed radish to have the same payoff? Plus, make more money growing soybeans.

    I don't understand this game. I don't know if I'm playing this game wrong but I don't see the incentive to go beyond my starting point. I don't see an incentive to grow anything other than soybeans or try out different equipment.    … Expand

    Vývojáři ze studia Giant Software si očividně vzali k srdci některé připomínky a prosby hráčů a letošní díl je tak zase o kus dál než ten z roku 2017. Absence značky Zetor je sice smutný fakt, ale i bez našich traktorů se jedná o povedené pokračování série. Na to s čím se vytasí konkurence v podobě Pure Farming 2019 si musíme ještě nějakou dobu počkat.

    I have been very disappointed with FS19. I played over 200 hours of FS17 and many hours of FS15 and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to this game but I don't understand what they are doing. The US map has a very trashy look to it.

A trash pile in the middle of my farm land, a trailer home near my farm with a tarp on the roof, a spanish church on the hill that has a busted out wall and tarps on the roof it's like I'm in Fallout 76 or something. The buildings on the farm they start you out with are junky looking and have no use whatsoever. I can't even use my barn for storage it's just a cosmetic barn for $60,000. What reason do I have to keep my $60,000 barn just to look at when I could use that money for farm equipment? FS17 and FS15 had beautiful farm houses which made you feel successful. This farm house is very trashy looking with paint chipping and a trashy looking interior It needs a remodel from Joanna Gains! Fortnite has better looking houses than this. It's cool you can walk inside the house but it is filled with...surf boards...yeah I know farmers and they don't surf. I get that it's supposedly California on the coast but most Americans consider the mid-west location for farming. Also there is a small tutorial at the beginning of the game just like FS17 and other tutorials but not as helpful as the many YouTube videos. Every time I need to figure something out I need to go to YouTube to see how things work and I've played the previous games. The new U.I. menu is not as good as the previous game. It does not even give you the name of the crops in the menu just a picture, kinda hard to figure the difference in a beet and a potato which both are white color in the menu, hard to tell the difference between wheat and barley also with no name under the picture. PROS are I'm glad they now have John Deere and now you can preview your tractor or vehicle before changing the paint or adding special tires. You can also landscape and "paint" the terrain which is very nice also glad for the more realistic weeds during growing. I wish they would have used a better engine to make the game. The Game environment looks like a PS3 or Xbox 360 game. I get that they are an independent studio and that this is on a console but look at The Hunter Call of the Wild for an example on console. They are a small European studio also and The Hunter has 50 square miles of open world in the woods, mountains, creeks also with dynamic weather and it's amazing! I don't know why they couldn't use Unity or the Avalanche Engine to help make this game. It would also be future proofing and much quicker turnaround time for the next game. This is a bit of a letdown, I was looking forward to this game. I hope mods will bring new maps, buildings, or farmhouses to console otherwise I have no desire to go back to it.… Expand

    I played fs17, fs17 expansion and fs19 which is the best so far. the object is to start a farm and buy land to increase your own size. you don't have to make it boring like most critics say, if you play it properly you don't have enough time to do everything. my farm does arable farming, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. its a matter of running a business and making it as big as possible. itI played fs17, fs17 expansion and fs19 which is the best so far. the object is to start a farm and buy land to increase your own size. you don't have to make it boring like most critics say, if you play it properly you don't have enough time to do everything. my farm does arable farming, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. its a matter of running a business and making it as big as possible. it is a long running game that can keep you interested in and is different to other games, giving one another bow to their string.… Expand

    → Tu as vu mon John Deere ?
    Dans farming simulator, on réalise les dures tâches d'un fermier, c'est moins dur derrière son clavier ou manette en main, mais c'est aussi plus ennuyeux car il est vrai qu'au bout d'un moment, j'en avais assez de labourer tous ses champs ! Le jeu me fait légèrement penser à Euro Truck 2 au niveau des mécanismes sur la partie gestion, c'est vraiment complet.    → Tu as vu mon John Deere ?

Ici il faudra acheter de nouveaux tracteurs plus puissants pour pouvoir utiliser des remorques toujours plus imposantes et ainsi mieux développer ça ferme pour avoir au final une expérience de jeu correct, sans casser pour autant trois pattes à un canard.

    You can be farmer man. Plus, tractors are kinda cool. Ngl tho, could use more clouds. But, I find that there are no glitches when I play, and the graphics look like they could be on Ps5. 10/10 would play for another 300hrs

    This game isn‘t anything for me. But I got it for free. Technically the game isn‘t good, the visuals looks very pixellated due to the missing anti-aliasing and still does not run smooth enough on a PS4 Pro. Switching the graphic modes doesn’t seem to have any effect on visuals or performance (?).

    Ich besitze jeden Teil der FS-Serie und bin echt zufrieden mit diesen Ableger. Das was mich an meisten an der PS4 Version stört ist das Sony (Aber auch Microsoft auf der XBox) keine Scriptmods erlaubt was das Spiel und das doppelte interessanter macht. Die Grafik hingegen ist sehr detailreich und wie beim Sprung vom FS15 auf den FS17 hat Giants ganze Arbeit geleistet.

    This game really went the extra mile in making sure I knew what it was like to be a farmer. I can't say I enjoyed it, but it put the fantasies I occasionally have about living a simpler life out of my head. It can't be a zero because messing around for 20 minutes was fun enough, but 20 minutes is going to be all this game ever gets from me.

    Overall, Farming Simulator 19 plays well and effectively puts you in the shoes of a farmer. Many use games as sort of escapism, to become something fantastical, powerful, to overcome evil, etc. Farming Simulator serves the same general purpose, only in a more realistic and tangible way by sating our curiosity about a profession that many of us will never know.

    Farming Simulator 19 has managed to take a step forward thanks to its graphic renovation that, together with the other options taken from previous deliveries, have managed to make a good game capable of entertaining and engaging new players, but that will be a little short to those who expected great changes and innovations.
